AMERICA'S BALLROOM CHALLENGE Starts This Wednesday!

So psyched! This is my favorite of all the TV shows. And I didn’t make it to the Ohio Star Ball last November, so showcases and results will be a surprise for me too. The four-week show begins this Wednesday, PBS 9pm ET. Go here for more info and for local show-times.

That's weird, Parker. I wonder why they say “premieres” if it's only going to be on once. That's stupid. I guess I can see the showdances appearing better on TV than the general dances, when you don't get to know the couples, etc. So, I guess they're making a completely fake show, getting rid of all the parts that show what an actual competition is like. I guess PBS is becoming like a regular network. Lovely.

I went to a preview and crew wrap party with the producer Aida Moreno at WGBH in Boston MA this past Sunday. I saw a promo and preview of the show on a big movie screen.The program this year is condensed into one two-hour program not as 5 one hours segments as in past few years. My dance teacher Dan Radler and his wife Deirdre are doing a Waltz showcase this year.
